With more than 20 releases under its belt – a treasure trove of albums, EPs, splits, and seven-inches, released since 2010 – Cloud Rat is a singular force in the extreme music scene. Cloud Rat has been labelled a "grindcore" band, but the prolific Michigan trio is so much more. Within its punishing songs, the band glides freely through a range of musical forms; underneath its full-throttle grind swirls a Lake Superior of emotion. Vocalist Madison Marshall's gut-purging screams and drummer Brandon Hill's hyperactive hammering meld with guitarist Rorik Brooks' epic riffs, into songs that are equally bone-crushing, heartbreaking, and uplifting.

New single "Corset" perfectly exemplifies the mix of beauty and violence that makes Cloud Rat such an intense band. Taking musical cues from Discordance Axis and My Bloody Valentine, the song drags the listener to both extremes in less than two minutes.

In a new exclusive interview with Invisible Oranges, accompanying the premiere of "Corset," Cloud Rat drummer Brandon Hill describes the creation of such multi-dimensional music as "an attempt to channel the seemingly boundless energy, joy and horror that is the incredibly frail and fleeting existence that is life."

Guitarist Rorik Brooks has described new album Threshold as "our best work so far." Vocalist Madison Marshall has stated: "I feel like this is the most intense record we have made."
